Guild Wars 2

Yeah I’d play the kitten out of an engineer holding a mortar like a minigun from TF2.

As it stands right now there are better ideas coming out of the community for this class than any of the others, but it seems like we are just rambling to ourselves and not a whole lot is going to change in the game.

Kamahl.3621:

From other professions, it’s ranged damage actually is out of balance. I have an 80 necro, guard, war, and engineer, and have played more than my fair share of dungeons. The damage disparity is huge when you can do a clean slate comparison. For example, I’ll look at how fast a ranger is taking down their Jade Maw Tentacle compared to me – it’s usually less than half the speed. Shrapnel and the vulnerability make you outshine other classes at range. In melee, warriors and guardians ramp it up – but you can still outshine a guardian with proper playing (and guardian can’t keep up after the spirit weapon nerf, prepatch they could outshine engineers – although the stats from weapons also helped in the engineer’s favor). I do actually feel condition necromancers can compete, but given I, an engineer, with no bleed runes, using shrapnel, can hit 16-19 bleeds if I focus purely on staying in grenade kit? I’m cutting out up to 20-30% of his entire damage simply by being me the moment that stack limit is hit. I’ve actually seen a solid dungeon group whose engineer stopped running shrapnel (thereby lowering his personal DPS) simply so the necro’s DPS wouldn’t be diminished. When I inquired about it, he pinged me 198 rare veggie pizzas and said the necro told him to stop.

Okay, I was under the impression that other professions were also critting for 2k or so and hitting for around 800

What is the reasoning behind the grenade kit being the only set of skills in the game with no auto attack?

I understand it’s a powerful kit but in comparison to other auto-attack skills (or just 1 key skills) from other professions its damage is not out of balance.

Deleted it opening day but have just rekindled my romance with your wonderful MMORPG.

Feel like a dumb dumb, but here’s my ticket number.

Compared to the complexity of other engineer kits I feel like the wrench kit is a bit (graphically) underwhelming, but adding the gear shield graphic (the one used in the skill “Gear Shield”) permanently, not just during that skill would be cool and fun.

I also deleted my first character, I realize it was our responsibility to read and understand the rules of character deletion, but I think that since this is something a lot of people paid an extra $20 for it should be restored since it’s digital content.

Best of luck resolving the PvP rewards issues, I look forward to the day when your most pressing game related issue is this little complaint that we share.
